Review for
The Nine-Headed Serpent for Hercules
by Sylvia Maltzman

 

Sylvia has provide with these short clear essays a deep look into the history of a dysfunctional family. She has come to some conclusions that I agree with. She says in Essay 3: Adult Children and Personal Limits that she believes one of the reasons dysfunctional people live their lives in a pendulum of swinging from one extreme to another (or one pattern to another) is they are bipolar and undiagnosed. I think this could be true not only of bipolar disorder but also of compulsive-obsessive problems as well.

I would recommend this book especially to every psychologist and psychiatrist practicing today. There is something in here for the everyday person as well as professional. Read these essays and don't be surprised to find yourself or your family members in many of them. I certainly did.
